Introduction:
Build an Ant Colony Optimization swarm that will start from one corner of a 2D grid of cells,
containing obstacles, and attempt to find a high-quality path to the diagonally opposite corner.
Build:
Executable from the command line without compilation.
However, a compiled version can be created using:
(COMPILE-FILE "project3.lisp")
In a Common Lisp REPL
Installation:
files list:
project3.lisp
grid_a.txt
grid_b.txt
grid_c.txt
grid_d.txt
Setup:
This solution was written and tested with GNU Common Lisp for Windows.
CLISP for windows can be downloaded and installed here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/clisp/files/
Usage:
run on command line:
clisp project3.lisp
load compiled .fas in REPL:
(LOAD "project3.fas")
Extra Features:
None
Bugs:
'Ant' agents can easily become stuck in a loop of cells, preventing them from completing the maze.
